AMD Threadripper 7000 versus previous generations

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000: Performance vs Previous Generations

Posted on November 22, 2023 by Matt Bach

The new AMD Threadripper 7000 processors provide significant performance gains over the previous generation, but how do the compare to older processors all the way back to the 1st gen Threadripper?

Lightroom Classic CC 2018: AMD Threadripper 2990WX & 2950X Performance

Posted on October 4, 2018 by Matt Bach

Lighroom Classic CC saw dramatic performance improvements with higher core count CPUs, but the 2990WX in particular has a staggering 32 cores. Will Lightroom Classic be able to take advantage of these extremely high core counts, or we have reached the point of diminishing returns?

Are 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPUs good for video editing?

Posted on September 21, 2018 by Matt Bach

AMD’s new 2nd Gen Ryzen Threadripper processors are absolute monsters, with the 2990WX in particular having 32(!) cores. But are they better than Intel for video editing?

DaVinci Resolve 15: AMD Threadripper 2990WX & 2950X Performance

Posted on September 19, 2018 by Matt Bach

DaVinci Resolve is a very GPU-intensive program, but it can still require a powerful CPU to match the amount of GPU power you may put into your system. We have seen diminishing returns with higher core count CPUs in the past, so the question is whether the 32 cores in the Threadripper 2990WX will increase performance or if you are better off with a lower core count CPU.

Premiere Pro CC 2018: AMD Threadripper 2990WX & 2950X Performance

Posted on September 19, 2018 by Matt Bach

In the past, AMD’s Threadripper CPUs have fared very well in Premiere Pro, but fell behind their Intel counterparts by the slimmest of margins. With the new 32 core Threadripper 2990WX and 16 core 2950X, will AMD finally overtake Intel as the best value for Premiere Pro users?

Photoshop CC 2018: AMD Threadripper 2990WX & 2950X Performance

Posted on September 18, 2018 by Matt Bach

Photoshop is definitely not the target market for AMD’s new Threadripper 2990WX 32 Core or 2950X 16 core CPUs, but even so we wanted to see how it stacks up against the previous generation Threadripper CPUs as well as a number of Intel Core i7/i9 CPUs.

After Effects CC 2018: AMD Threadripper 2990WX & 2950X Performance

Posted on September 18, 2018 by Matt Bach

For several years, After Effects has not performed very well with high core count CPUs – instead favoring processors that have higher per-core performance. This means that while AMD’s new Threadripper CPUs like the 2990WX and 2950X are very impressive in some applications, they shouldn’t be terribly great for After Effects compared to their Intel counterparts.

DaVinci Resolve 14 GPU Scaling Analysis (1-4x Titan Xp)

Posted on October 13, 2017 by Matt Bach

DaVinci Resolve has long been known to greatly benefit from multiple GPUs, but is this still true or has the recent launch of Resolve 14 changed things?

DaVinci Resolve 14 CPU Performance: Skylake-X vs Threadripper

Posted on October 13, 2017 by Matt Bach

While GPU performance is often the first thing that comes up when configuring a DaVinci Resolve workstation, the CPU is in many ways even more important. Modern CPUs from Intel and AMD can have up to 18 cores, but can DaVinci Resolve actually make use of them all?
